UNCTAD: Gaza’s per-capita income has fallen 83 percent to 58 cents a day, the worst economic collapse on record, with reconstruction needs at $71.5 billion. This week’s roundup covers rent, medication, and evacuation costs already sitting underfunded. Move what you can; share what you can’t fund. @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @mutualaid@ovo.st #mutualaidrequest #politics #gaza #poverty #mentalhealth #healthcare #activism #palestine #solidarity @wrzky@wrzky.com @wrzky@kolektiva.social #mutualaid Mutual Aid Request Roundup 1 Oct 2026

It's really impressive how all these anti-communists and anti-Chinese (Since the question came up: I don't consider China to be communist. Those terms are all from the last century. We certainly need new words) people are now crawling out of their holes and calling Xi a dictator, even though they come from countries that have children murdered every day without batting an eye. The only sensible course of action—now more than ever—is #international #cooperation and #solidarity. Any other course is not only reactionary but deadly. #china #usa #trump #xi

What does solidarity look like in practice? In Fort Morgan, Colorado, neighbours are training to respond when ICE activity is reported in their community. They verify what is happening, make sure people know their rights, and help connect families with legal and practical support if someone is detained. There is something powerful in this kind of organised community care: people learning what they can do, then showing up for one another when it matters. Worth watching: https://youtu.be/Y8Lm48rY8rQ #Quakers #Community #Solidarity #MigrantRights #AFSC #FriendsOnTheFediverse

Community members learn how to respond to ICE raids

— the first same-sex civil marriage on the books in Bolivia. Article 63 still says a woman and a man. This was won case by case, not by statute. David Aruquipa, whose own union was the 2020 ruling that made dozens of later registrations possible, refused to let last week be called a beginning. He called it a continuity. #Bolivia #MatrimonioIgualitario #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Lesbian #MarriageEquality #LatinAmerica #QueerHistory #TransRights #Solidarity #Journalism #History 2/3

The whole issue, and the question I'm asking under it — what have you built with your own hands that nobody asked you to build? I answer every one in the comments: https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-skynet-is-coming-we-are-all-dead #Bolivia #MatrimonioIgualitario #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Lesbian #MarriageEquality #LatinAmerica #QueerHistory #TransRights #Solidarity #Journalism #History 3/3

They applied on 12 October 2022. A registry that said no. A long administrative grind. Two constitutional injunctions filed by IGUAL Bolivia's team. Three years and ten months of being told their family wasn't the kind the state writes down. On Friday, in Santa Cruz, Fabiana Banzer and Scarlett Rocha were recorded as married #Bolivia #MatrimonioIgualitario #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Lesbian #MarriageEquality #LatinAmerica #QueerHistory #TransRights #Solidarity #Journalism #History 1/3

Queer State of the Union by Wendy The Druid Brianna Turner stood up in public this week and said: She doesn't need protecting from trans women. Every fucking policy in this issue runs on the lie that somebody needs saving from us — kids need saving from their own teachers, women athletes need saving from their own teammates, a small Alberta town needs saving from a strip of paint, Ohio voters need saving from a Democrat's own voting record, and the American public needs saving from reporters asking questions at the White House gate. The saviors never ask the saved, the rot bastards. They never have. They know better, and the fkrs do it anyway, because the "protection" racket is the most profitable goddamn grift in American politics. So here's where we stand, queer and not, all of us together: the educators have the data, the courts have the Constitution, the repair crews have the wrenches, and a WNBA forward has the nerve. What the other side has is a social-media account, a flyer, a pollster, and a VIN blacklist. That's it. That's their whole damn army — scared people clutching padlocks and paper. You want to protect women's sports? Buy the fucking ticket. You want to protect kids? Show up at the school board and outvote the book-burners. You want to protect the press? Subscribe to the newsroom he just locked out. You want to protect the planet? Fix the thing instead of feeding it to the smoke in Accra. They know better. So do we. And we are finished letting the cowards who know better set the terms for the rest of us — every seat, every ballot, every hallway, every gate. Stand up. We're counting who does. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/they-know-better-the-cock-weasels-seized-press-badges-sacrificed-trans-kids-a-hostage-car-and-a-demo#the-queer-state-of-the-union?utm_source=PixelFed&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica #Trans #TransRights #LGBTQ #QueerNews #Politics #News #Journalism #HumanRights #Resist #Solidarity #Democracy

https://thistleandmoss.com/p/they-know-better-the-cock-weasels-seized-press-badges-sacrificed-trans-kids-a-hostage-car-and-a-demo#3-things-that-you-absolutely-need-t?utm_source=PixelFed&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica

  1. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio — the longest-serving woman in Congress, first elected during Reagan's first term, holder of a 95% HRC score in the last Congress — has decided the smart way to survive anti-trans attack ads is to cut them herself. Two of them. In one she boasts, "I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools," and she isn't bluffing

  2. Westlock, Alberta — a town small enough that everybody knows whose kids asked for the crosswalk. In 2023 local activist Benita Pedersen papered the place — public walls, private property, online — with a flyer demanding residents stop a rainbow crosswalk carrying the trans flag. The flyer warned of a "transgender agenda" bent on "de-population," promised parents their children would be rendered infertile and die young, and branded gender-affirming care "chemical castration and genital mutilation." Laurie Hodge, the resident who filed the complaint and who now sits on the town council, took action.

  3. Brianna Turner has played organized basketball for more than fifteen years, and she is sick to death of being used as a prop. The WNBA star told Them this week she hates being turned into a tool for dismantling trans people's rights, and she named the latest clowns: two former NBA players, both cis men, who declared themselves eligible for the WNBA's 2027 draft as an anti-trans stunt.

It’s official: WWU-US/CWA is now certified to represent eligible Wikimedia Foundation workers in the U.S. On September 17, the NLRB issued the Certification of Representative: [1] https://www.nlrb.gov/case/20-RC-391740 52 days after WMF declined voluntary recognition, U.S. recognition is complete. Next: bargaining, with the needs of staff around the world in focus. UK recognition continues. Different countries. Different legal paths. One movement in true solidarity.

Today's issue: 3 stories, Many sources read, 3 hours, and zero ad networks. I could use them, but I dont want to. The #Blanche transcript got pulled and read against his confirmation answers, because "he said it on television" isn't real enough. The #GLAAD number got checked against the study itself, because I wanted to be damn sure. #Journalism #IndependentMedia #Media #NoAI #MutualAid #Solidarity #QueerNews #LGBTQ #TransRights #Fediverse #Community #Politics 1/2
